Podcasts about mental health crisis

Sam Parfitt is the founder and Chief Executive Officer of The True Athlete Project. He holds an MSc in Sport Policy, Management and International Development from the University of Edinburgh, where he then became an associate tutor. His dissertation focused on the role of sport coaches as social change-makers, basing his research at The Crags Centre - a community sports center in an area of high deprivation in Scotland, where Sam was the sport-for-wellbeing manager. ​Sam is a certified mindfulness teacher and a USPTA professional tennis coach, with experience coaching all ages and standards - from total beginners to internationally-ranked juniors. A former tennis player, Parfitt won the 2006 London Youth Games and three British Tour doubles titles before moving to the United States in 2009 on a division one college tennis scholarship where he became a two-time All American Scholar Athlete. ​While Sam suffered with much ill health during his time in the States, Sam endeavored to use his experiences in sport - both positive and negative - to help others. His academic work centered around sport and identity, and he became intimately involved in establishing projects which used sport as an agent for social change. Thus, the True Athlete Project was born.

In this explosive and highly anticipated episode, Dr. Roger McFillin hosts Dr. Ragy Girgis, a Columbia University Professor of Psychiatry and researcher, for a no-holds-barred confrontation that exposes the shocking divisions tearing apart the mental health field. What begins as a conversation about mass violence research rapidly explodes into a devastating examination of psychiatric medicine's crumbling foundations, questionable effectiveness, and devastating potential harms. The two clash in fierce, unrelenting disagreements over fundamental issues including the validity of DSM diagnoses, the debunked "chemical imbalance" theory of depression, dangerous SSRI safety cover-ups and black box warnings, corrupted research quality and pharmaceutical industry manipulation, and the catastrophic crisis of psychiatric drug overprescription poisoning 1 in 4-5 Americans. Dr. Girgis desperately defends traditional academic psychiatry and current treatment approaches, while Dr. McFillin ruthlessly dismantles the entire paradigm, arguing that the current system is systematically creating chronic mental illness rather than healing it. Buckle up for this brutal intellectual warfare.___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Throughout the interview, Dr. Girgis repeatedly stated that "the data is clear" while dismissing contradictory evidence that challenges his conclusions. For our listeners' benefit, I have compiled research and documentation that directly disputes several of Dr. Girgis's key claims.Serotonin Hypothesis of Depression1. The serotonin theory of depression: a systematic umbrella review of the evidence (Moncrieff et al.)Conclusions: "This review suggests that the huge research effort based on the serotonin hypothesis has NOT produced convincing evidence of a biochemical basis to depression. This is consistent with research on many other biological markers . We suggest it is time to acknowledge that the serotonin theory of depression is NOT empirically substantiated."2.What has serotonin to do with depression?Conclusions: "Simple biochemical theories that link low levels of serotonin with depressed mood are no longer tenable."3.

The 1988 document indicated that 3.7 percent of patients attempted suicide while on the blockbuster drug, a rate more than 12 times that cited for any of four other commonly used antidepressants.In addition, the paper said that 1.6 percent of patients reported incidents of hostility -- more than double the rate reported by patients on any of four other commonly used antidepressants."Examples of Violence after Prescription in legal system (Sample)January 24, 2020 – Newcastle, South Dublin, Ireland: Deirdre Morley, 44, smothered and killed her two sons Conor, 9, and Darragh, 7, and her three-year-old daughter Carla McGinley in their family home.

Our mental health crisis isn't mysterious - it's the predictable result of systematic cultural programming designed to keep us medicated, divided, and compliant. Dr. Roger McFillin conducts a disturbing deep-dive investigation into America's most popular cultural content to uncover the hidden forces driving our unprecedented mental health epidemic. His shocking discoveries include the Call Her Daddy podcast, where thousands of teenage girls celebrate STDs as feminist achievements, and mainstream media outlets that casually normalize genocide and mass violence as dinner table conversation. Dr. McFillin exposes what he believes is a coordinated three-phase assault on human psychological well-being: first, destroy healthy models of self-worth; second, desensitize the population to violence and dehumanization through media conditioning; and finally, capture these wounded souls through pharmaceutical dependency disguised as healthcare. The solution isn't more pills or endless therapy sessions - it's awakening to these toxic cultural narratives and choosing to resist them. Because once you see the programming, you cannot unsee it.

Are we really facing an unprecedented mental health crisis in America, or have we been misreading the data? As parents everywhere grapple with The Anxious Generation's claims that smartphones are rewiring our children's brains, this episode takes a closer look at what the research actually shows about youth mental health trends. If you've read the book, you've seen those alarming hockey-stick graphs showing dramatic increases in teen depression and anxiety in teenagers. But what if those "surges" aren't quite what they seem? What if changes in how we diagnose and track mental health conditions are inflating the crisis? And what happens when a community with everything that should protect kids - tight social bonds, involved parents, shared values - still experiences devastating teen suicide rates? This deep-dive analysis examines the evidence behind Gen Z mental health claims, investigates whether youth depression statistics show the dramatic surge described in The Anxious Generation, and asks the crucial question: are we fighting the right battle when it comes to protecting our children's wellbeing? Questions This Episode Will Answer Is there really a mental health crisis in America? While youth mental health challenges are real, the "crisis" narrative may be overblown due to changes in diagnostic practices and data collection methods since 2010. When did the mental health crisis start according to The Anxious Generation? Haidt claims the crisis began between 2010-2015 with smartphone adoption, but the data shows more complex patterns that predate this timeline. What are the signs of youth depression and anxiety that parents should watch for? The episode explores how reported signs of youth depression and anxiety have increased, but examines whether this reflects actual increases or better identification and reporting. We look at the classic signs of depression and anxiety in teens, as well as what to look for in teens who might 'seem fine.' How many teens have mental health issues compared to previous generations? Teen mental health statistics show increases, but when examined closely, many changes are smaller than dramatic graphs suggest. What causes anxiety in teenagers beyond social media? Research shows that other factors may explain larger portions of youth mental health struggles than screen time. What You'll Learn in This Episode How changes in diagnostic criteria and healthcare access may have inflated mental health crisis statistics since 2015 Why teen suicide rates show different patterns than depression rates, and what this means for understanding youth struggles The real story behind those alarming youth depression statistics and why context matters when interpreting data How academic pressure in high-achieving communities can drive teen mental health problems even without social media Why focusing solely on anxiety in teenagers related to screens might miss bigger factors affecting Gen Z mental health What signs of youth depression actually tell us about the scope and causes of teen mental health challenges How different communities experience and conceptualize mental health struggles in ways that challenge universal assumptions Why the timeline of the supposed mental health crisis in the U.S. and elsewhere doesn't align with smartphone adoption as clearly as The Anxious Generation claims Dr. Jonathan Haidt's Book The Anxious Generation: How the Great Rewiring of Childhood is Causing an Epidemic of Mental Illness (Affiliate link) Jump to highlights 00:53 Introduction...

We want to hear from you! Send us a question or comment.What happens when the soothing glow of screens becomes a dangerous escape hatch for our children's emotions? In this revealing episode, addiction interventionist Matt Brown tackles the increasingly alarming phenomenon of screen addiction sweeping through younger generations.Drawing from groundbreaking research published in the Journal of American Medicine, Matt explores how digital dependency correlates with rising rates of depression, anxiety, and even suicidal ideation among adolescents. The findings are sobering: nearly 18% of youth in the study reported suicidal thoughts, with addiction to screens—not merely screen time—being the critical factor. Most troublingly, many children as young as ten report using devices "to forget about problems," mirroring the exact psychological patterns seen in substance addiction.This conversation strikes particularly close to home as Matt candidly admits his own struggles with healthy technology boundaries. "I find myself using technology in unhealthy ways too," he confesses, highlighting the unique challenge parents face: how can we guide our children when we're fighting the same battle? Rather than offering simplistic solutions, Matt invites listeners into a thoughtful reflection on modeling healthier relationships with technology and creating family environments where digital devices enhance rather than replace human connection.Whether you're a parent worried about your child's screen habits, an educator witnessing changing classroom dynamics, or someone questioning your own relationship with technology, this episode offers valuable perspective on one of modern life's most pervasive addictions.

Mental Health Crisis in Rankin County – The Clay Edwards Show, Episode 1,010   I'm diving headfirst into what I'm calling a full-blown mental health crisis in Rankin County, Mississippi, and I'm dubbing it “Goon Squad Derangement Syndrome.” This isn't just about isolated incidents—it's a pattern of erratic, unhinged behavior that I see spiraling out of control, tied to the fallout from the infamous “Goon Squad” case where deputies tortured two Black men in 2023. I'm talking about folks in Rankin County acting like they're auditioning for chaos, from blowing whistles and dressing like Foot Locker employees to getting arrested multiple times in a single day. I'm pointing fingers at a few specific individuals—one I believe is convinced he was a victim of the Goon Squad, another who seems disappointed he wasn't, and a third who's got the nerve to call me a snitch while playing whistleblower himself.   This “Goon Squad Derangement Syndrome” has people so obsessed with the idea of police brutality that I think they're trying to provoke it, almost like they're chasing fame or a lawsuit by willing confrontations into existence. It's June, Men's Mental Health Awareness Month, and I'm sounding the alarm: these men are in crisis, and their loved ones need to stop enabling them. I'm urging families to push for serious help—check these guys into a facility like St. Dominic's or Whitfield for evaluation. I'm dealing with this mess myself, having pressed charges against one of these clowns, and I'm done ignoring their antics. This syndrome is real, it's destructive, and it's tearing at Rankin County's fabric, fueled by the Goon Squad's shadow.

JEMS Managing Editor Jeff Frankel hosts a deep dive into the mental health challenges facing first responders. Featuring Dr. Robin Jacobowitz, interim director at SUNY New Paltz's Institute for Disaster Mental Health, and paramedic and union leader Alanna Badgley, the discussion centers around a groundbreaking 2024 New York State Mental Health Needs Assessment. The study exposes alarming rates of PTSD, depression, and suicidal ideation—20% of EMS respondents have thought about suicide linked to their work. The conversation addresses how chronic workplace stressors like mandated overtime and stigma create substantial barriers to care. Alanna emphasizes that mental health struggles aren't anomalies but an expected reality for first responders, advocating for open dialogue, culturally competent care, and union-backed mental health leave policies. This episode sets the stage for ongoing conversations and upcoming solutions to better support those on the front lines.

It's a troubling situation: Nearly one in three high school students report persistent feelings of hopelessness. At the same time, many communities have a lack of mental health professionals to counsel and help young people.Leaders from philanthropy, public health, and private sectors think they have a path to a solution: Youth Mental Health Corps. This program, which launched a year ago, places young adults as mental health navigators in schools and community organizations.

Dan Lester, Vice President of Field Culture and Inclusion at Clayco, brings a powerful voice to the conversation around mental health in the construction industry. Focusing on total health and well-being, Dan emphasizes that mental health is about managing everyday and extreme stress.  Dan shares findings from a 2024 Clayco study showing that 54% of tradespeople reported anxiety or depression in the past year, yet many still feel ashamed to talk about it. Dan attributes this to stigma, pride, and the male-dominated nature of the industry. He stresses the importance of psychological safety and creating spaces where vulnerability is welcomed.  Through practical initiatives like wellness zones, mandatory fatigue days, and leadership modeling, Dan advocates for a cultural shift in the industry.

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Dr. Sarah Erdner, PhD, CMPC, to spotlight a topic often overlooked in the world of sports—coach mental health. Dr. Erdner, author of Dear Coach: What I Wish I Could Have Told You, unpacks the emotional burden coaches silently carry and how athlete well-being is often a reflection of coach well-being. Through intimate stories, powerful insights, and tangible steps, this episode challenges the sports world to reframe leadership, rethink "culture," and offer care to those expected to always lead.   About the Guest:Dr. Sarah Erdner is a Clinical Associate Professor of Kinesiology, Certified Mental Performance Consultant, and author of Dear Coach. Her groundbreaking work began with research interviews and evolved into a nationwide dialogue about emotional labor, empathy, and systemic change in sports. She advocates for psychological safety, multicultural awareness, and intrapersonal reflection among coaches.   Key Takeaways: Coaches are often viewed solely as a means to winning, which fuels burnout and poor mental health. Emotional neglect of coaches trickles down to athlete well-being and performance. Writing "Dear Coach" letters—both as a reflection and feedback tool—can start essential cultural conversations. Authentic leadership begins with acknowledging one's cultural identity and emotional limits. To create truly high-performing teams, organizations must prioritize coach support systems at par with athlete mental health.   Connect with Dr. Sarah Erdner:Visit: www.dearcoachbook.comExplore her book, request mentorship, or download the free eBook version.   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?DM on PM – Send me a message on PodMatch DM Me Here: https://www.podmatch.com/hostdetailpreview/avik Tune to all our 15 podcasts: https://www.podbean.com/podcast-network/healthymindbyavik Subscribe To Newsletter: https://healthymindbyavik.substack.com/ Join Community: https://nas.io/healthymind   Stay Tuned And Follow Us!• YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@healthymind-healthylife• Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/healthyminds.pod• Threads – https://www.threads.net/@healthyminds.pod• Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/podcast.healthymind• LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/reemachatterjee/ | https://www.linkedin.com/in/avikchakrabortypodcaster #podmatch #healthymind #healthymindbyavik #wellness

One of the biggest reasons families stay stuck when a loved one is spiraling is this paralyzing question: "Is this addiction... or is it a mental health crisis?" That uncertainty can stop parents, spouses, and siblings from taking action—afraid of labeling it wrong, of pushing too hard, or making things worse. In this episode, we unpack why this question is so common, why it keeps families on the sidelines, and how to move forward even when you don't have all the answers. Danny and Emily answer this question loud and clear—bringing truth, experience, and hope to the heart of the struggle. If you've ever felt torn between compassion and fear, this episode is for you.

As societal expectations and misconceptions about masculinity reach a tipping point, Knight challenges the status quo by highlighting the urgent need for emotional and spiritual support for men.

Portland police let a knife-wielding maniac run free for THREE DAYS while local businesses lost money and residents fled in terror. Yet another example of absurd 'de-escalation' policies where a man who pepper-sprayed officers and lunged with a knife was deemed 'not a threat to the public.' This video breaks down how police departments nationwide are now refusing mental health calls, creating a dangerous public safety vacuum that affects everyday citizens. When cops won't respond and social workers can't handle violent situations, who exactly is protecting our communities? Is this hands-off approach what taxpayers are funding with their hard-earned money?

In this powerful episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with author, researcher, and documentary filmmaker Aly Vredenburgh to unpack the deeper roots of the Gen Z mental health crisis. Forget the surface-level blame on screen time—Aly breaks down how systemic issues, policy failures, and cultural shifts are fueling unprecedented levels of anxiety, depression, and loneliness in younger generations. From misunderstood social dynamics to lack of access to preventive care, Aly's fresh and solution-focused insights are a wake-up call for individuals, parents, educators, and policymakers alike. About the Guest:Aly Vredenburgh is an author, sociologist, and advocate for youth mental health. With a master's in social innovation, she challenges the status quo through her book Out of Focus: Why Gen Z's Mental Health Crisis is More Complex Than You Think and her upcoming documentary Crisis Generation. Her mission is to drive awareness and action by tackling mental health with compassion, community, and bold policy reform. Key Takeaways: The Gen Z mental health crisis isn't just about tech—it's rooted in systemic neglect, cultural disconnection, and lack of policy support. Social media isn't the villain—it can be a powerful tool for community, education, and healing when used intentionally. Aly advocates for universal mental health care, more school counselors, and addressing loneliness as public health priorities. Awareness alone isn't enough—real change starts with empathy, purpose, and collective action. Storytelling, especially through film, can transform hearts and policies in ways raw data never could.
